50 years ago today -- March 2, 1965 -- The Sound of Music hit theaters in the United States. In honor of the iconic film's anniversary, we take a look behind the scenes of one of our favorite movies to share some things you may not have known.
1. While singing "I Have Confidence," Julie Andrews accidentally tripped in the Von Trapp courtyard.
plummerchristopher.tumblr.com
Director Robert Wise felt it added a much needed nervousness to the song and the character, so he decided to use it in the film.
2. Julie Andrews sang "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" to the Von Trapp children between filming.
happy-thought.tumblr.com
Since Mary Poppins hadn't been released yet, the kids all thought she made it up just for them.
3. Maria never uses the Captain's first name, Georg.
iseizetheday7.tumblr.com
She calls him only Captain, Sir, or Darling.
4. Christopher Plummer traveled to the Salzburg mountains to meet Captain's nephew and learn more about the character.
Since very little information was available about Captain Von Trapp for Plummer, he and his interpreter met with Captain's nephew to learn a bit about him. The nephew described the real man as the most boring man he'd ever met.
5. The day after the von Trapp family escaped Austria, Hitler ordered the borders shut.
6. They also took a train station to Italy and safety; they didn't hike over a mountain.
durillium.tumblr.com
Salzburg is much closer to Austria's border with Germany, and neither Italy nor Switzerland are within walking distance.
7. If they had hiked over a mountain, they'd find themselves near Hitler's mountain retreat in Germany.
8. Charmian Carr (Liesl) has admitted she was attracted to Christopher Plummer, who played her father.
strippermuffins.tumblr.com
Despite the 13 year age difference, Plummer admits that the feeling was mutual. He insists it never evolved beyond flirtation.
9. Director Robert Wise didn't get along with the real Maria von Trapp when she came to the set.
lejazzhot.com
He called her "bossy."
10. In the original play, ideological differences drive the Captain and the Baroness apart.
bellecs.tumblr.com
She wouldn't stand up to the Nazis, and he refused to compromise with them.
11. Grace Kelly had been considered for the part of the Baroness, but was a bit too busy, you know, being a princess.
12. The gazebo scene with Maria and the Captain was made a silhouette to hide the uncontrollable laughter of Julie Andrews.
20th Century Fox via Everett Collection
According to Andrews, a lighting device kept making a certain "raspberry" noise every time she leaned in to kiss Plummer. After more than 20 takes, the scene was changed to a silhouette to make her laughter less noticeable.
13. The real Von Trapp children weren't pleased with how stern their father was portrayed.
plummerchristopher.tumblr.com
Maria Von Trapp had asked Wise to soften the character a bit, but the director refused.
14. Kurt's high note in "So Long, Farewell" is actually sung by Liesl's real life younger sister.
geelmi.tumblr.com
The note was out of Duane Chase's range, so Charmian Carr's sister, Darlene, sang it instead.
15. Mia Farrow auditioned for the role of Liesl.
Liza Minnelli and Sharon Tate were also among those who tested for the part.
16. Christopher Plummer admits he was drunk when they filmed the music festival sequence.
lejazzhot.tumblr.com
17. The movie is one of only four films to win both the Tony Award for Best Musical/Play and the Oscar for Best Picture.
The others are My Fair Lady, A Man For All Seasons, and Amadeus.
18. Charmian Carr (Liesl) danced through "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" on an injured ankle.
During the first take of this scene, Carr slipped while leaping from a bench and fell through glass. She wasn't badly hurt, but her ankle was injured and needed to be wrapped for the scene.
19. Even though nobody had seen how she would perform on screen yet, Julie Andrews was always director Robert Wise's first choice.
lejazzhot.com
20. Yet she almost turned down the part, fearing it was too similar to Mary Poppins.
21. The actress who played Marta, Debbie Turner, kept losing teeth during filming.
loucaeapaixonadasempre.tumblr.com
They had to be replaced with false teeth.
22. The children kept growing during filming, so lots of heel lifts and camera tricks were needed for height continuity.
Louisa (Heather Menzies-Urich) started production three inches taller than Friedrich (Nicholas Hammond); he had to wear lifts. By the end of filming, he'd grown six inches. Liesl (Charmian Carr) had to stand on a box while Friedrich didn't wear shoes to help keep their heights consistent.
23. Nicholas Hammond had to endure a bunch of painful bleachings to turn brown hair blond for the film.
24. Christopher Plummer disliked filming so very much that he referred to the movie as "The Sound of Mucus."
25. Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, and Veronica Cartwright were among those who auditioned for roles as von Trapp children.
munchkin1946.tumblr.com
As did the four oldest Osmond brothers: Alan, Jay, Merrill, and Wayne.
26. The gazebo's interior scenes were shot in Los Angeles.
The inside of the actual gazebo was too small to accommodate the dance numbers.
thoughtcatalog.com
27. The gazebo can still be seen in Salzburg, but only from the outside.
Visitors were too frequently attempting to dance along the benches and injuring themselves, so the interior is now off limits.
28. Julie Andrews learned to play guitar specifically for this role.
29. Christopher Plummer also learned to play guitar for the role...but his playing was dubbed.
strippermuffins.tumblr.com
30. Christopher Plummer asked for "Edelweiss" to be replaced.
He thought the song was trite and "schmaltzy" and asked for it to be written out. Screenwriter Ernest Lehman refused.
31. There was nobody at the altar to officiate the wedding during filming because someone forgot to wake the actor.
taddat.tumblr.com
32. Julie Andrews has also claimed that the actual bishop of Salzburg can be spotted in the wedding scene.
33. It's not really Kym Karath (Gretl) on Captain's shoulders in the final shot as they climb the mountains to safety.
GIPHY
Karath had gained a bit of weight while filming in Austria, and evidently Christopher Plummer found her too heavy to carry on his back. He requested a stunt double.
34. Which is funny, since Plummer's weight gain required his costumes to be refitted for his extra mass.
He admitted he ate and drank in Austria in order to better cope with the unhappiness he felt from filming.
35. The movie features a rare onscreen performance by famed ghost singer Marni Nixon.
She played Sister Sophia. Nixon, who had previously done the vocals for Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Since Julie Andrews played Eliza Doolittle in the Broadway version but was passed over in favor of Hepburn for the film, producers were nervous to learn how she would react to Nixon's casting. Andrews approached her and exclaimed, "Marni, I'm a fan of you!"
36. Christopher Plummer has said working with Julie Andrews is like "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card."
37. Julie Andrews kept getting knocked over from the helicopter's wind.
austinhomemaggiefalvey.tumblr.com
Though that iconic spin looks warm and sunny, Andrews only remembers how cold she was as she repeatedly ran across the mountain with the ferocious winds of the chopper above. She tried digging her feet into the ground without luck.
38. Director Robert Wise climbed a nearby tree in order to film that first musical number; he wanted to be able to watch the helicopter filming without getting in the shot himself.
39. Sean Connery and Richard Burton were both considered to play Captain.
40. The real Maria von Trapp makes a cameo.
In the "I Have Confidence" scene, as Julie Andrews walks beneath a brick archway, the real Maria can be seen behind her, dressed as a peasant.
41. Heinrich Himmler, famed Nazi, took over the von Trapp house after they escaped. Adolf Hitler visited him there more than once.
marypassw.tumblr.com
42. Kym Karath (Gretl) couldn't swim, so Julie Andrews was responsible for catching her when they fall out of the boat and into the water.
i-just-live.tumblr.com
On the second take, the boat tipped in a way that sent Andrews flying one way and Karath falling out the other side. Heather Menzies-Urich (Louisa) was tasked with saving her instead, which Andrews was haunted by.
43. Subsequently, Karath threw up all over Menzies-Urich after swallowing too much water.
44. The cast had to be continually hosed down in order to maintain a soaking wet look after falling into the water.
45. Liesl may have been 16 going on 17, but she was actually older than Rolfe.
ww2.kqed.org
Charmian Carr was 22 at the time she sang that song; Daniel Truhitte, who played Rolfe, is ten months younger than she is. Now who's older and wiser?
46. Shirley Jones, Anne Bancroft, and Doris Day were all considered for the part of Maria.
47. Robert Wise initially turned down the opportunity to direct the picture.
Stanley Donen, Vincent Donohue, Gene Kelly, and George Roy Hill were also approached and said no.
48. Mary Martin, wife of the producer of the original Broadway show and the first woman to play Maria made nearly $8,000,000 from the film.
fanartandstuffilove.tumblr.com
While Julie Andrews earned just $225,000.
49. According to British tabloid The Sun, it's one of the films chosen to show after a nuclear strike to improve morale.
Though this is unconfirmed by the BBC who declared it a security issue.
50. Peggy Wood (Mother Abbess) had a hard time lip-syncing along to "Climb Ev'ry Mountain."
She struggled to perfectly match the first word of the song, so director Robert Wise had her face away from camera when she began singing. When she looked at camera, she had caught up with the song enough to perfectly pass. The effect of her staring out the window in the beginning added a mystical element to the song and fit in better than originally planned.

For the last 10 years, if you've been able to stay awake after the Academy Awards telecast ended (late, as always), Jimmy Kimmel Live! has had an "After The Oscars Special" for all to enjoy. Last night for the 10th anniversary, Jimmy pulled out all the celebrity stops he could and it was pretty impressive.
He opened the show with a hilarious sketch featuring Oscars host Neil Patrick Harris:
ABC/YouTube
Despite his hectic Oscars schedule and Vanity Fair after party commitment, NPH managed to stop for a hug and time to babysit.
There was a special edition of "Lie Witness News", which proved people will literally lie about anything:
ABC/YouTube
Angelina Jolie as Rosa Parks? Sexiest movie adaptation that woman has ever seen, obviously.
The real icing on the cake from last night's show, however, was the two part special jam-packed with celebrities, like first-time Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne and more:
ABC/YouTube
ABC/YouTube
Jeez Eddie, why don't you sound British enough? You're from there! Only Jimmy Kimmel could get Jennifer Aniston to agree to a dis-trust fall and make it funnier than we could have hoped for.
ABC/sorry-no-more-no-less.tumblr.com
On Top of having a series of hilarious pre-taped sketches, Jimmy also had J.K. Simmons on the show, after his very first Oscar win - "I did it baby! I did it Jimmy!" Subsequently, Jimmy made him share it with him. Jimmy also brought out the man who has been ridiculed since last years Oscars name flub - Adele Dazeem - John Travolta. John broke down just how many parties he had to attend and what dancing he'd be getting up to.
ABC/YouTube
As much as we loved last night's 10th annual special, we still think that this skit is the best thing Jimmy Kimmel has ever done.
5th Annual "After The Oscars Special" - "Handsome Men's Club":
ABC/YouTube
"Wow, you're Handsome. You're perfect. You're incredible. You are one good looking son of a bitch. Good job mom. Amazing. Holy shit."

Sean Penn has declared Charlize Theron "the love of my life" after correcting an interviewer for referring to the actress as his "girlfriend".
The Milk star has been dating his fellow Oscar winner since 2013 and he is rumored to have proposed to Theron last year (14). The couple has yet to comment on the engagement reports, but Penn was keen to let the world know how much the blonde beauty means to him during a recent interview with French newspaper Le Parisien. Stopping the reporter mid-sentence, the 54-year-old actor, who was in France to accept an honorary prize at the Cesar Awards, said, "No, no, excuse me, Charlize is not my girlfriend. She's the love of my life."
He went on to comment on their close friendship before becoming romantically involved, adding, "We have a very strong relationship. (We) have known each other for a very long time. But we weren't together."
Penn's public declaration of love comes shortly after he fueled rumors of an impending wedding by revealing walking down the aisle for a third time would give him a fresh start after two previous failed marriages.
He told America's Esquire magazine, "I'd get married again... You say I've been married twice before but I've been married under circumstances where I was less informed than I am today, so I wouldn't even consider (it) a third marriage, I'd consider it a first marriage on its own terms if I got married again. I mean, I like the tradition."
He was previously married to Madonna in the late 1980s, while he shares two children with actress Robin Wright, who he was married to for 14 years until 2010.

This Sunday will be Neil Patrick Harris’ first time hosting the Oscars. Can you believe it? He’s practically hosted every other awards show (from the Tonys to the Emmys), but now he’s in the big leagues – among such iconic hosts as Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, and…Donald Duck? Yep, that’s right. The animated cartoon character actually co-hosted the ceremony back in 1958. We’re just glad we weren’t alive to witness that. But we’ve witnessed our fair share of other hosts, from bad to good. Allow us to rank them for you.
10. Anne Hathway &amp; James Franco (2011)
GIPHY
Everyone was left scratching their heads when this hosting duo was announced, and Anne and James didn’t do much to allay people’s concerns. Anne tried way too hard, and James just didn’t try enough, resulting in a disastrous show that likely solidified the notion that producers should stick to comedians for the job.
9. Hugh Jackman (2009)
richardgere.tumblr.com
Sorry, Jackman. You’re a lovely singer and dancer, but this ain’t the Tonys. It was too much Broadway flair and not enough jokes.
8. David Letterman (1995)
gifyoutube.com
It was the “Oprah, Uma” gag that did him in. It just went on for way too long, and Hollywood was not amused.
7. Seth MacFarlane (2013)
GIPHY
The Family Guy creator was an odd choice simply because we don’t see him in front of the camera much. He took risks with some edgier jokes (Such as: "['Django Unchained'] is the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who's been subjected to unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie.") and received a mixed response from critics.
6. Billy Crystal (1990 - 1993, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2012)
gifyoutube.com
He’s hosted a TON of times (9 to be exact), with varying degrees of success. The best part is whenever he inserts himself into the Oscar-nominated films. But when they brought him back to host the 2012 awards after Eddie Murphy dropped out, we sort of felt like he was the “safe” choice. He did play it safe, and in effect, the show was a bit boring.
5. Whoopi Goldberg (1994, 1996, 1999, 2002)
gifyoutube.com
Remember when she appeared on stage in full Queen Elizabeth I regalia? She really went for it and nailed it.
4. Chris Rock (2005)
gifyoutube.com
When he hosted, they had the telecast run on a 7-second delay – just in case. We know at least one person wasn’t a fan. After Chris made a joke about Jude Law, a humorless Sean Penn took the stage to criticize the comedian, calling Jude one of the industry’s “finest actors.” At least Chris stayed true to his own boisterous style.
3. Steve Martin &amp; Alec Baldwin (2010)
gifyoutube.com
Ok, so the pairing may have just been because they had recently starred in a movie together (It’s Complicated), but these two proved to complement each other quite nicely. Steve is a veteran host and knows how to work the room, and Alec is just naturally funny. They're no Tina and Amy, though...
2. Jon Stewart (2002, 2006)
gifyoutube.com
The things about Jon Stewart is that he’s smart. Very smart. He deftly balanced the political jokes with his hilarious insights on Hollywood and we were thoroughly entertained. Maybe now that he's retiring from The Daily Show, it'll free him up to host more awards shows.
1. Ellen DeGeneres (2007, 2014)
GIPHY
Nevermind the fact that she took that epic celebrity selfie, she brought PIZZA for everyone last year. Hands down the best.

As a general rule, the men of Rosewood are, well, kind of creepy. Some are creepier than others, some used to be creepy but have since redeemed themselves, and a few exceptions are simply good guys…for now, anyway. Trust them at your own risk. In honor of the Pretty Little Liars’ winter premiere (set to air on ABC Family tonight), we present to you a ranking of the PLL guys on a scale of best to creepiest - starting with the best.
1. Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn)
GIPHY
GIPHY
Caleb has been nothing but supportive of our girls – especially Hanna. His priority has always been protecting her. The creepiest thing he ever did was leave Rosewood for the failed spinoff, Ravenswood, where he dealt with ghosts or some such nonsense. We’re just glad he’s back! He proves the men of PLL aren’t ALL bad.
2. Jake (Ryan Guzman)
queenmonas.tumblr.com
Jake was nice. We liked Jake. What happened to Jake? Sure, he was meant to be a rebound guy for Aria, but he could’ve been so much more. He was a martial arts instructor (hot) and he warned Aria about Ezra (smart).
3. Mike Montgomery (Cody Allen Christian)
GIPHY
Remember when Aria’s little bro went through a phase of breaking and entering? It was a more a cry for attention than actual creepiness, though. The creepiest thing he’s done is date Mona, but he genuinely liked her for some reason.
4. Travis Hobbs (Luke Kleintank)
prettylittleliarsxxxx.tumblr.com
Travis was Hanna’s fairly innocuous rebound boyfriend – until she realized that Caleb is the best and there’s no sense pretending otherwise. He was a caring and understanding guy while he lasted, though.
5. Toby Cavanaugh (Keegan Allen)
GIPHY
Toby started out as a seriously suspicious character. He was a social outcast who had an affair with his step-sister. Then just as he started to show Spencer his sweet side, he was unmasked as one of A’s minions (that black hoodie reveal, though)! He only did it to protect the girls and all is quickly forgiven (even though the whole debacle put Spencer in a MENTAL INSTITUTION). Now he’s a cop.
6. Jason DiLaurentis (Drew Van Acker)
GIPHY
He’s a past drug abuser with questionable motives and a contentious relationship with his half-sister Alison. But then again, who doesn’t have a contentious relationship with Ali? We still can’t get a read on this guy, but he’s intriguing nonetheless.
7. Lucas Gottesman (Brendon Robinson)
GIPHY
Lucas started out as a sweet nerd with an unrequited crush on Hanna. Somewhere along the way he started helping Mona with her dirty work and went from sweet nerd to shady nerd.
8. Wren Kingston (Julian Morris)
GIPHY
GIPHY
This guy’s a doctor so he’s supposed to be somewhat intelligent, right? So why has he kissed not one, but two underage girls (Spencer and Hanna)? Are there seriously not enough of-age women in this town? Also, he seemingly knows more about "A" than he lets on.
9. Noel Kahn (Brant Daugherty)
GIPHY
What is Noel Kahn’s deal? Will we ever find out? He was one of the few people who knew Ali was alive the whole time. Why did she trust him? Should we trust him? Things were much simpler when Brant Daugherty was on Dancing with the Stars.
10. Det. Gabriel Holbrook (Sean Faris)
prettylittleliarsquestions.tumblr.com
Surprise, surprise. Another older dude with a thing for younger girls. Detective Holbrook has smooched both Hanna and Ali – and he continues to investigate the PLLers. How do you still have a badge, sir?
11. Det. Darren Wilden (Bryce Johnson)
GIPHY
Detective Wilden was a creepy cop who thought good police work meant blackmailing teenage girls. He’s dead now, but we can’t say he didn’t get what was coming to him.
12. Zack (Steve Talley)
wholetrouble.tumblr.com
hannasrivers.tumblr.com
We were always a bit suspicious about the way this coffee shop owner whisked Aria’s mom away to Austria. Then right before he could become Aria’s new step-daddy, he revealed himself to be a true creep. He got handsy with Hanna and was promptly kicked to the curb by Mama Montgomery. He was also decked by Caleb, once again proving our point that Caleb is the best.
13. Ezra Fitz (Ian Harding)
GIPHY
Never in the history of teen dramas has there been a more glorified pedophile than Mr. Ezra Fitz. He starts an affair with Aria, his teenage student, basically just so he can dig up dirt on all her friends for a book he’s writing. But at least he’s not "A," right? Why is this guy not in jail?!
We can agree they're all pretty hot though, right? Who do YOU think is the creepiest PLL guy? Tell us on Twitter!

There's no question that 2014 was the year of the booty. From Chris Brown's Instagram to Kim Kardashian's Paper spread, there's no doubt our collective attention has been drawn to one body part in particular. Though the derrière mania may have hit a fever pitch this year, we'd argue that Meghan Trainor's claim of "bringing booty back" may be slightly misguided. Here's a rough timeline of songs praising big behinds:
Queen - "Fat Bottomed Girls" (1978)
Perhaps the original ode to the big butt, Queen asserted way back in the day that "fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go 'round."
LL Cool J - "Big Ole Butt" (1989)
We can't help but love LL, especially as he confesses he's leaving his girl for Tina, because she has a big ole butt. That's a good enough reason, right?
Sir Mix-A-Lot - "Baby Got Back" (1992)
Without a doubt the most iconic song about any body part ever written, this is the song Nicki sampled for her rump anthem and the reason we'll forever tell any Becky we meet to "look. at. that. butt."
Soundmaster T - "2 Much Booty (In Da Pants)" (1994)
This song may be a bit silly, but it's always a crowd pleaser. A song about having too much booty (is there such a thing?) that not even pants can contain it.
Sisqo - "Thong Song" (1999)
This is Sisqo's biggest hit in the U.S., and it received four Grammy nominations. All thanks to that thong, th-thong thong thong.
Mystikal - "Shake Ya Ass" (2000)
This song is such a catchy keister shaker that not even a young Nicholas Hoult could resist singing it.
Destiny's Child - "Bootylicious" (2001)
The only song on this list officially endorsed by the Oxford English Dictionary, this Destiny's Child song is an eternal anthem for GNOs around the world. Props, too, for giving us the phrase "I don't think you're ready for this jelly." We weren't.
Pitbull feat. Lil Jon - "Culo" (2004)
The song's title itself is Spanish for "ass." Need we say more?
Bubba Sparxxx feat. Ying Yang Twins - "Ms. New Booty" (2005)
This song would be the "Baby Got Back" of its time, if "Baby Got Back" weren't so classic. Bubba Sparxxx's biggest hit is iconic in its own right though, and we still get really excited whenever we hear it.
Eminem - "Ass Like That" (2005)
Eminem can make a song about behinds like not many other people can. This one is tied with "Shake That" for Slim's best booty song, and they're both pretty unstoppable rump shakers.
The Black Eyed Peas - "My Humps" (2005)
Though Fergie is singing about all of her lovely lady lumps here, it's all that ass inside her jeans that makes us scream, makes us scream.
Soulja Boy - "Donk" (2008)
It's hard to fight the twerk when this song comes on, as much as we hate to admit it. This may just be our favorite Soulja Boy song.
Big Sean feat. Nicki Minaj - "Dance (A$$)" (2011)
Nicki Minaj's backside could possibly be more famous than any of her songs. Then again, a great many of her songs discuss her backside. It's like a chicken/egg situation, but this collab with Big Sean is still on most of our Spotify playlists because it's just too good.
Jennifer Lopez feat. Iggy Azalea - "Booty" (2014)
Jennifer Lopez's rear end has been her most famous asset since she rose to fame, yet she somehow waited a very long time before she made a song about it. We're not sure why it took so long, but it was worth the wait. Two of the best butts in the bizz came together for an unforgettable video.
Nicki Minaj - "Anaconda" (2014)
What happens when you take the most famous butt of the 21st century and mix it with the most iconic song ever written about butts? This. This is what happens, and we're so thankful it did.

"As a child I was very attached to my mother. She was always with us, and dad instead was often away on business. I started to get close to him later, when I left home. We are very similar, and I saw reflected in him everything that I hated in myself. (But) today I can recognise the values that he gave me: strong will, curiosity, passion and hunger." Model Dylan Penn, 23, has grown closer to her father, actor Sean Penn, in recent years. Her mother is House of Cards star Robin Wright.
